There are many Plugins available for protecting your Wordpress powered website, one of the highest rated ones is WP Sanitize : Auto WordPress Optimizer Plugin. In this tutorial we will show you how to install and activate the WP Sanitize plugin in Wordpress. 

Once it is installed it cleans up or removes common weaknesses in Wordpress.

I recommend performing a backup of your website, before installing a Wordpress plugin. 

Install WP Sanitize:

  1. Login to the Wordpress Dashboard.
  2. Click the Plugins link in the navigation menu, then click the Add New link.
  3. In the search box, enter "WP Sanitize" then click the Search Plugins button.
